Im sorry, but my master 
Lepant is very busy and cannot
see you.





When will he be free?





I dont know. 
Tomorrow, perhaps, or the day 
after,or in a month, or even a
year.



Thats enough! Please leave!







Going to Lepants mansion? 
Hee hee, forget it. 
Youre wasting your time. 
\
I wont stop you from going, 
of course, so go ahead. 
I have a better idea, 
though...hee hee.

You went to Lepants mansion? 
Hee hee! 
\
You guys would never get in, 
even if you spent years in 
front of his house.
\
I have a much better plan. 
Care to hear me out?
Youll get to meet Lepant.



Tell me what you have in mind.



Good. 
But this is not the place. 
Lets go to the inn.


I cant trust you.

Then go ahead and waste your 
life away, stupid.







Are you ready to hear me out 
now?



Lets hear what you have to 
say.





Dont rush me now. 
Do you know why Lepant wont 
see anyone?





Why?







He doesnt want to get 
involved with guys like you 
who defy the Empire.
\
Thats why he refuses 
visitors.



But why?
Thats not like what Mathiu 
told us about him.







I dont know anything about 
that. Anyway, lets get down 
to details 
\
Lepant treasures two things 
above all else. 
One is his wife Eileen. 
\
The other is the great sword 
Kirinji.







So...





So if you steal Kirinji, 
Lepant will most certainly 
come after you. 
\
Then, after you face him, you 
can talk to him, or blackmail 
him, or whatever you like. 
Understand?







I see. So how do we steal 
Kirinji?

Hee hee. 
Just leave that to me. 
Wait here a while, then come 
on over to Lepants house. 
\
Ill see you later, hee hee.







Are we pretending to be 
thieves now? 
How pathetic!







Whos pretending? 
We are thieves.



Its about time we got going.





Here you are. 
Wait just a moment.



There. Now you can go in.





Arent you coming?



My job is done. 
Now its your turn. 
Ill be waiting here.

My god, you scared me. 
Who are you? 
Fellow thieves? 
How do you do.





Who are you?







Me? Im Juppo the Trickster. 
Who are you?



Trickster? 
Did you make this contraption?



Thats right, thats right. 
Do you like it?







You must be kidding.







Hey you, turn that infernal 
contraction off, right now.







Hmmm, that may be difficult. 
The dolls I can shut off, but 
the big one, impossible. 
\
So enjoy it, soldiers of the 
Liberation Army.





This must be Kirinji. 
A remarkable piece of work.



Cleo, lets get going.



Dont be such a chicken, 
Gremio.





We cant have the McDohl scion
getting captured as a common 
thief.

Youre late, youre late. 
Did you get it? 
\
Good work. 
Lets go back to the inn.





You did very well.
\
I snuck in there once myself, 
but some kind of weird doll 
appeared, and I ran off 
without taking anything.







You knew, yet you still made 
me go?







No harm done, hee hee. 
Anyway...





You must be tired. 
How about some tea?

Tea?







Tea?







Did you say tea?







Come, come, take a break.





Krin.





What is it? Hee hee.







You go ahead 
and drink it first.





Oh, no, you go ahead. 
I didnt work, and Im not 
tired, hee hee.



That figures. 
Think were stupid enough to 
fall for such an old trick?







You did, once before.





What a scoundrel.





Come out, you thieves! 
Or youll be sorry!

That was quick. 
Hes found us already.

Heh heh. 
I told him where you were. 
So youd get captured in 
your sleep.

Lets go.





Are you the one who stole 
Kirinji, my familys 
treasure? 
\
Return it immediately, 
or Ill...



.........





You thieves! 
Too frightened 
to say anything?



Whats the matter, Young 
Master. 
Lets tell him the truth.







Master Pablito, have you 
forgotten what Mathiu said? 
Hes Lepant. Probably.








Um, Mathiu recommended you.







What? Mathiu... <Espera 3F>
If Mathiu is involved, Id 
like to help you. 
\
But there are certain things I
cannot give up. 
So please return Kirinji 
and be on your way.

We need your help.


Im sorry, but when I think 
about how my wife will miss 
me, I cant.



If my life belonged to myself 
alone, I would gladly help 
you. But such is not the case.





Im sorry. 
I cant give up this life 
right now. 
For my wifes sake.




I understand. 
Well return your sword.







Thank you. 
Ill be on my way, then.







Master!

Whats the matter, Giovanni?







Madam...Madam...







What about Eileen?



The new Military Commander 
took her away. 
I tried to stop him. But...

What!





For what reason did you arrest
my wife? 
Let me see this new commander 
of yours!





You cannot see Commander Kraze
without an appointment.



What!





Who the hell are you?
Are you aware that this is the
Kraze residence, you dog?!

Shut up, you common criminal!





This is quite a large number 
of opponents, even for me. 
\
Hm? Hey you there! 
Youve come just in time. 
Lend me a hand.







You again, Pablito! 
Thanks to you, Ive been 
reassigned to this miserable
country town. 
\
How dare you get in the way 
of my promotion!
And now youre getting in
the way of my pleasure!





Youre disgusting! 
Return Eileen immediately!



Ill never forgive you.

Eileen!

Lepant!

Thats far enough. 
Dont come any closer. 
I wouldnt want to hurt this
beautiful lady.







What a rogue.
Rotten to the core. 
\
When I think that I was 
taking orders from this 
creature.



Say what you will. 
I have to protect myself. 
\
By the way, let me bring out 
an old friend of yours. 
Hey! Come on out!

Pahn!





Heh. Pahn, capture those men. 
This is your chance to wipe 
the dirt off of General Teos 
name.







Pahn, youre not really going 
to do as he says?







Cleo, Gremio... 
\
Young Master...







Pahn...

I dont regret the decision I 
made that day. Even now.

Thats right, Pahn.

Yet my heart still aches. 
I-I want to follow my heart. 
\
Whether my heart is right or 
wrong will be judged by 
history.







Pahn, what are you talking 
about?



Youre a pig in human skin! 
Take this!

You seem to be hated by a lot 
of people.





Now wait a minute, take it 
easy. Think of what will 
happen to your father Teo if
anything happens to me.



Youre the one person I cant 
forgive.
Get the hell out of here.





You, you d-dont really mean 
to...h-help.



Get the hell out of here.





Young Master, why spare him? 
He killed Ted.







Gremio, its Young Masters 
decision. Hes got a bigger 
heart than we do. 
And Im proud of him.



Commander Pablito, it 
appears that I, too, am now a 
fugitive. 
\
I pretended to be blind to the
Empires cruelties, just to 
protect my family.
And look where its gotten me.





Yes.







You are no longer my wife.



W-why, Lepant?



I am joining the Liberation 
Army. 
I probably wont be able to 
return.







......... 
\
Youre a cruel man. 
What do you take me for?







If you come along, youll 
suffer.



Ive been prepared for the 
worst, ever since I married 
you.





Commander Pablito, please 
let me lend the Liberation 
Army a hand.



We need a bit of time to 
prepare, but well join you at
 Pablito Castle very soon.



Young Master - I mean 
Commander Pablito - please 
let me join the Liberation
Army. 
\
I cannot ask to be forgiven, 
but even so, I would like to 
be of service to you.





I cant forgive you.







Please, Master.

Its about Ted, I suppose. 
Im sorry. 
\
I shouldnt even show my face 
to you. 
But even so, I want to join.







I see. 
You still cant forgive me.


Pahn, lend us a hand.



Y-young M-master... 
\
Thank you so much. 
My life is in your hands, 
Commander Pablito.





Dont go in there! 
The commander will be furious.



Staying the night? 
Youll sleep in comfort for 
150 bits per person.





Armor is my business. 
Choose whatever you like.







Something to appraise?



Clear

How was it? No good?
Ha! Youre an amateur. 
All right, lets leave this 
time. 







This time, dont fail.



Eileen...





You chickened out last time. 
Better not run this time.

Thank you very much. 
Lepant really wanted to help 
you for some time.



Master Lepant, what shall we 
do?





Watch this. 
This ropes no big deal.
Here we go...

Can you untie me?
